Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 353 The Battle of the King's Cup
When the Valencia players were actively preparing for the Copa del Rey final, Lee Polo received an invitation to attend the coach's private banquet.

"Has the contract extension proposed by the club been rejected by your agent?"

As head coach and sporting director, Gary Neville certainly has the contract dynamics of all his players at his fingertips.He just asked knowingly.

Li Poluo didn't hide anything, he smiled and nodded:

"Boss Lin's love for football is not enough. The entire management team of the club is sometimes not professional enough."

Big Neville shrugged his shoulders, of course he knew these problems.

Although Boss Lin spent a lot of money in two consecutive summer transfer windows when he first bought the team in 2014, and even spent more money than Real Madrid and Barcelona at one point, but it only took two years for Boss Lin to "wake up".

After looking at the identities of the behind-the-scenes bosses of Chelsea, Manchester City, and Paris, and looking at his bank account, he understood a truth:
With his net worth, it is impossible to continue playing so recklessly every year!

Football...is a bottomless pit!

I don't have oil and natural gas in the Middle East, so I should learn from Arsenal, Tottenham, Dortmund, not Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and the big local tyrants!
So when Barcelona proposed to buy the two main players of Paco and Gomez last year, there was almost no resistance from the club's top management.

And when Arsenal poached Mustafi at the buzzer, the Valencia management only complained a few words before bowing their heads in front of the huge sum of 4500 million euros.

"I'm not here to persuade you to stay in Valencia."

Ouchi shook the red wine in the goblet, took a sip, and showed a shallow smile:

"You know my other identity."

Li Poluo's eyes flashed, and he also laughed:
"You want to persuade me to join Manchester United?"

Ouchi nodded:

"Manchester United is the most successful team in the history of the Premier League. It has the largest fan base in the world. The media exposure is not lower than that of Real Madrid. In contrast, the club's financial resources are by no means comparable to Valencia. As long as you agree to join, you will He can become the top superstar with the highest weekly salary in the entire football world."

Li Boluo raised the knife and fork noncommittally, and slowly cut the steak on the plate.

Just listen to the other party continue to say:
"I know, you will dislike them for not getting the top four in the league, so they will miss the Champions League next season. But they are still fighting for the Europa League. As long as they win the final, they can qualify for the Champions League."

Lee Polo nodded. Of course he knew that Mourinho would lead the Red Devils, who were full of wounded soldiers, to the final victory.

Seeing that he was wavering, Ouchi strikes while the iron is hot:
"Compared to the harsh Guardiola, Mourinho's requirements for players are relatively simple, and you undoubtedly match his tactics very well. He has always wanted a strong center like Didier Drogba. You are undoubtedly The most suitable candidate.

You said Ibrahimovic?After all, he is very old and has been seriously injured this season, so it is impossible to play a core role anyway, isn't it? "

While chewing the steak, Lee Polo listened to his description of the prospect, and even started persuading him from the character of the head coach:

"Mourinho and you are both confident and even conceited people, you will definitely cherish each other!"

But he secretly shook his head in his heart.

[No, you don't understand, a truly arrogant person will never play with another arrogant person! 】

[I'm afraid that if I become crazy, I will drive Mourinho to death! 】
-
This private banquet did not yield substantial results.

Neville was not too disappointed, because he knew early on that neither Lee Polo nor Barnett behind him would be easy to deal with.

Although he wants to use the influence of the head coach to take a shortcut, it is impossible for the players to hand over their big moves so simply.

Even if Lee Polo really decides to join Manchester United, his agent will continue to bargain with his new club to maximize his own interests!

In today's football market, emotional tendencies are the most insignificant factor.

If someone talks about their "Emperor Dream" and "Ersa Dream", it must be that other teams have given too little! -
The 6 days of preparation time passed quickly.

It was not until May 5, only one day before the King's Cup final, that Li Polo reappeared at the Patna training base.

After more than half a month of recovery, the fitness coach Dias was very worried about his weight, but when Li Polo was on the scale, Dias doubted his professional knowledge:

"Why did you lose half a kilogram?"

Li Poluo patted his abs:
"As a top superstar, can you not have this self-discipline?"

Zakaria looked at the bruise on his thigh, curled his lips in disdain, but didn't puncture it.

——After all, I once swore to myself that I would never argue with Big Brother Poluo casually again!
-
"Lee Polo will not be included in the starting 11 list, this is the decision of the coaching staff."

At the press conference before the game, Gary Neville announced the list of players to play, and Mina appeared in the center position.

Regarding the media's questioning, the head coach answered frankly:
"Of course I know how Lee Polo's absence will affect the team, but we are a team and will work hard to overcome the negative impact.

What's more, in the league, we also defeated Barcelona without him starting, so we have reason to be full of confidence in tomorrow's game! "

Probably because he spoke so smoothly that none of the more than 100 professional media in the audience reacted:

[In the game he mentioned, although Li Polo didn't start, he was the one who played as a substitute and decided the final victory with a lore goal! 】
-
5 month 27 day.

At the Calderon Stadium in the capital, the final of the Copa del Rey ushered in.

As Ouchi said, even without Li Polo, Valencia can compete with Barcelona.

The oppression and pressing that the Bat Legion has always insisted on is the nemesis of pass control. Unless Barcelona can return to the peak of the Dream Team, they will not be able to comfortably get the ball under the opponent's crazy running and pressing.

After the start of the game, the two sides did not have any temptations, and directly entered the hand-to-hand combat with real knives and guns.

In the 5th minute of the start, Iniesta made a straight pass from the left, and Neymar overtook Jones from the outside and then lobbed a shot to avoid Alves' palms!

It's a pity that he exerted a little more force, and the football spun and flew out of the goal, making more than 2 bat loyalists break out in a cold sweat.

Valencia quickly retaliated. Feguli failed to attack Alba from the right, so he had to pass back to Parejo. Captain Parejo made a cross. After Perez's transition, he found De Paul on the left. The player's half-high ball went over Mascherano's header and was headered by Mina!
It's a pity that Mina is not Li Polo after all. This time the header was a little weak, and Ter Stegen hugged him tightly...

In the 22nd minute, Parejo hit the crossbar with a 25-meter long-range shot. Valencia missed an excellent opportunity to take the lead, and the entire stadium was full of lamentations.

But 6 minutes later, Messi and Suarez hit the wall and cooperated, allowing the former to successfully reach the top of the arc in the penalty area.Faced with Van Dijk's full-scale marking, even the Argentine football champion felt tremendous pressure, and Alves pinned down an arrow to the ground.

In the 33rd minute, Valencia got a corner kick, and Rodrigo made a pass from the left. Van Dijk missed the pass under the interference of Pique, and Jones, who was behind, directly put the ball on the stands.

Although both sides played a good offensive, but faced with the opportunity to shoot, neither MSN nor Mina, Figuri, or Van Dijk could form a score.

Until the 42nd minute, maybe it was about to enter the intermission time, maybe because of the decline in physical fitness and concentration, Barcelona's midfield pass made a small mistake, Busquets sent the football to Pere under his feet.

The deputy of the bat team was obviously stunned for a moment, then flicked his left foot and sent an arc of the outside instep.

DePaul took the ball forward knowingly, and Rodrigo drew Roberto's defense, allowing the former to concentrate on singleting out Mascherano.

The contest between the old and new generations of Argentine players was decided after a second:

Mina reached out for the ball in the middle, but Ma Ge didn't grab it immediately, which gave DePaul the opportunity to shoot from the outside of the penalty area.

With a little rotation, the football drew an elegant arc in Barcelona's penalty area, and finally jumped into the upper right corner of the goal!

1: 0!

Lee Polo, who was sitting on the bench, applauded his teammates!
